Revisiting Pentecost

In Memory of Nilson Fanini (1932-2009)
Recently learned of the passing of Nilson Fanini, an outstanding Brazilian Baptist Pastor in the Rio de Janeiro area. He was called the "Billy Graham of Brazil", partly because he served as the interpreter when Billy came to Brazil for a evangelistic campaign and partly because in his own right, he was an outstanding evangelist himself.
He not only greatly impacted the churches in Brazil but also around the world serving as President of the Baptist World Alliance. He died while… Continue

How do you observe the Last Supper?
So many things happened that last evening with the disciples. On the very night in which our Lord was betrayed and drug off to the authorities like a common criminal. A new commandment and a new observance were among the most precious things we have recorded for us that evening. The "Upper Room Discourse" recorded only by the Apostle John has always been one my favorite passages of all the Bible.
The center of everything is the supper and the words Jesus spoke to his disciples…

The Best of Christmas Music
This time of year I am amazed more and more how much of the Gospel is heard publically in our American society. That is my main criteria for 'best' regarding the Christmas music. Does it carry the Biblical message of the Gospel? And I have to say that down through the years the conviction has grown that the all-time standard was set with Handel's Messiah. The Libretto portion of Messiah is all Scripture and was put together in such a way that is true to the Biblical narrative; in its entirety… Continue

Words from The Fire
A New Book about "Hearing the Voice of God in the Ten Commandments".
Al Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, has written a book that I've been waiting for for a long, long time. In my opinion, it just may be the best book in our generation on the Ten Commandments. Imagine my great delight when I began reading and realized that Mohler was committed to seeing these famous Biblical words from the Old Testament from the perspective of the New… Continue

A gift for SimpleChurch on Labor Day
Meditating on the Prayer Book of the Bible
I was lamenting a low point in my experience with the SBC yesterday. It was the Lifeway Sunday School material that is used by a majority of churches in the Convention and the Adult material for the fall quarter on Psalms. The first lesson on Psalm 19 had what only could be called "The Great Omission". Christ, the hero of the Biblical narrative, was completely left out! He was not only left out of the student's manual, but also of the… Continue

- WHO WILL ANSWER?
I came across a 1968 song that had an incredible impact on my life as a young adult and it seems to me the words are more powerful than ever as a cry coming from the world to the Church.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble blindly
Through the often-tangled maze
Of starless nights and sunless days,
While asking for some kind of clue
Or road to lead us to the truth,
But who will answer?
Side by side two people stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
That love's imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
And when they seek the hows and whys,
Who will answer?
On a strange and distant hill,
A young man's lying very still.
His arms will never hold his child,
Because a bullet running wild
Has struck him down. And now we cry,
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
But who will answer?
High upon a lonely ledge,
a figure teeters near the edge,
And jeering crowds collect below
To egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
But who will ask what led him
To his private day of doom,
And who will answer?
(Chorus)
If the soul is darkened
By a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled
When the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
In the rooms of dark and shades,
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled heads
Reclining in the rumpled beds
Of unmade dreams that can't come true,
And when we ask what we should do,
Who... Who will answer?
'Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
The world revolves in apathy
As overhead, a row of specks
Roars on, drowned out by discotheques,
And if a secret button's pressed
Because one man has been outguessed,
Who will answer?
Is our hope in walnut shells
Worn 'round the neck with temple bells,
Or deep within some cloistered walls
Where hooded figures pray in halls?
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves,
Or in our stars, or in ourselves,
Who will answer?
(Repeat Chorus Below)
If the soul is darkened
By a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled
When the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!

I do not attend Christ Church in Canton, but have come to know some of the members there better. Who do know who attends there?
Nice to have connected here and I look forward to sharing and learning together.

Den Hess said… - Thanks for your encouraging words. I love your son's family pic. I agree with you about his wife she is extra special having a naval chaplain for a husband. I think it'd be incredibly difficult to have a large family and be in the navy, but obviously like all of us, we are called to do His will in His strength. Let your son and daughter in law know that I will be thinking of them and praying. God bless.

- Oh my heart goes out to David for having to be absent from his family, but am grateful that he is willing to serve the Lord in the capacity of serving our country. My heart also goes out to Judi for the sacrifice she makes to allow him to do what the Lord has called both him and her to do.

Andy Hayner said… - Glad you enjoyed the video. I actually don't normally listen to rap music, but there is something about seeing the redemption of Christ hit a culture in a place that has normally been very dark that really captivates me. I'm not sure John Piper is aware of Lecrae, but there are a several hip-hop artists (of which Lecrae is one) who are obviously very aware of him. Praise the Lord for beauty of His grace that shines through, even if the style is very different than our own.

- Hello, John Paul. Bless you today. Of course we always appreciate and enjoy the posts that you share with us, videos and all. I don't have the time to come here very often anymore, but Father encouraged me to write today; so I posted a piece and stopped by to say hello to a few friends. What a great tool the internet and this site is! Let's continue to occupy until He comes.
Blessings,
Marion
